the second one is correct, and sound. you may also rephrase it to " My father told me never to leave the country." or " My father said I must never go abroad."

In spoken English there is no difference. They are both OK.
In written English, "never to go" is more grammatically correct. But many people will use "to never go".

"Although split infinitives have been widely condemned in grade-school classrooms, they’re common in writing of all kinds."

They mean exactly the same thing. There is no difference in nuance.
(It is not often one can say that with English word order!!)
